    The only Billstein shock I have seen as a combo with spring is the 6112s. Check out Boss or Toytec.

    Look up the no spring compressor method to remove your OE shock. Quite a few videos of it on Tacos and 4Runners but it works on Tundras too. I just did it with my 08 about 2 months ago. Don't stress about loosening the LCA's as you'll need to make sure the cam bolts aren't seized to complete your alignment.

    Reading alot on here from U folks, thank ya much, friend recommendations & taking my time to look on different sites. Going to return my Bilstein's & purchasing the complete set F&R to get rid of that mushy suspension feel on a heavy truck
